The Run that Cleared My Head

Good evening kids. This is a very strange blog to write as I really don't know what it is about. All I can say is thank god I have Jenna who lives across the hall from me. Last night I was in a particularly bad mood, not pissed off like I was on monday, just in a bad mood. One of those where I'm super bored and feel as though my life sucks. Upon returning from my SI, I walked into Jenna's room and began to tell her why I was so bored. The thing of it is, I don't know why I'm so bored, just bored in general, bored with my life I guess. Upon seeing a lot of people last weekend, it seemed as though everyone was having way more fun at college than I was. I can't believe I said this, but last night the only thing that sounded good was to get drunk and forget about my life for a few minutes. THIS IS BAD! If any of you know me, you know that I'm not a heavy drinker, in fact I wouldn't say I drank at all and I tell people I don't drink. Sure I've had a few sips here and there since I've been here, but never been to a party and I certainly have not been drunk. So I was talking to Jenna about what I should do about this. Becuase I had the means to get drunk last night, and it seemed like a good idea, but really it wasn't. I have always been a firm believer in the fact that you don't need to drink to have a good time. Even more so you don't need to drink to forget about life because that is the worst thing to do, forget about your life. It's stupid to drink solely because you have nothing else better to do. It is like eatting because you are bored, in the end, it really doesn't benefit you at all.

So anyway, Jenna started listing things to do and for some reason the one that sounded best was go for a run. My tummy kind of hurt so I was like ehh...not to mention the fact that I haven't actually run since basketball my junior year. Yeah, you could say I'm severly out of shape. So finally she was like, go change your clothes, we're going for a run. Dear lord! I told her that I would only be good for about 10 minutes and she said that she didn't think she could do that. OH DEAR GOD....I forgot that she ran cross country last year! We started running, ran for about half an hour, about two miles. Only walked a little, just to give ourselves a break. The dam was rushing becuase they had opened another section of it. Kind of made me sick to look at it.

Again, anyway, we talked about life, boys, drinking, sex, school, and roommates while we ran. It really did clear my head. I felt so much better after that, and I was so happy that I didn't get wasted just to forget about life. Not only did I feel better about my life, I was so energized. So we came back, popped some corn, turned on the notebook and watched it in my room. I took my laptop up to my loft so she could use my grounded line and we talked online, to eachother! and other people, and watched the movie. Then Adam and Steve came up. It was actually a lot of fun. I worked on my profile on facebook so those of you reading this who can access that, do. And if you want to be quoted let me know.

So I guess the moral of the story is, I still don't need to have a drink in my hand to have a good time. And I don't think I will have a drink in my hand for quite awhile. Thanks so much Jenna for all that you do for me. Like you said earlier, I don't know what I would do if you didn't live across the hall from me! To the rest of you out there reading this...this is really random, but it is how I feel. And to the adults reading this becaue I am going to post the same blog on myspace and blogger, this is me, this is what I have been up to, so here you go. Thanks for listening....
